Restaurant news: Flying Biscuit Cafe returning to East Cobb

Flying Biscuit East Cobb

Several years after leaving East Cobb, the Flying Biscuit Cafe is returning.

Like Mellow Mushroom, it’s coming back to the Johnson Ferry Road corridor, albeit in another location.

After Flying Biscuit left East Cobb in 2010, its freestanding space at Woodlawn Commons was occupied by Chase Bank, next to the Fed Ex store.

There’s a sign in the window at the old La Vida Massage space at Parkaire Landing Shopping Center indicating Flying Biscuit will open soon there, but there’s not a specific date indicated.

The Flying Biscuit space at Parkaire is 3,000 square feet, according to Jamestown Limited Partners, the retail center’s management firm.

We’ve contacted Flying Biscuit and Jamestown to get more details and will update here when we get them.

Ironically, La Vida is now located in the same Woodlawn Square retail center where Flying Biscuit once had been.

Flying Biscuit announced recently it was opening in the Castleberry Hill neighborhood in Atlanta and last year opened a restaurant in Toco Hills near Decatur. It also opened a new restaurant in South Carolina and is reopening a location in Houston.

According to its website, the Atlanta-based company operates 20 restaurants in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Texas. Twelve of them are in metro Atlanta, including Kennesaw, Roswell and Sandy Springs.

The Loyal Tavern (formerly Loyal Q and Brew) closed up at Parkaire after less than two years in business. That space had been vacant for a few years before that. The Pollo Tropical space at Parkaire has been converted into a Regions Bank.

Other restaurants and eateries at Parkaire include Ted’s Montana Grill, Johnny’s New York Pizza, Sakura, Cold Stone Creamery, Moe’s, Subway and Taco Bell.
